      Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Vs Yezdi Roadster – Specs, Price Comparison

      by

      Classic Legends recently brought the Yezdi brand back to life by launching three motorcycles under its anvil- Adventure, Scrambler and Roadster. All three bikes hold distinct identities in the brand’s lineup. With this launch, Classic Legends has thrown in another dice to take on the supremacy of Royal Enfield in the 250-500cc motorcycle segment.
      While Adventure locks horns with Royal Enfield Himalayan, Scrambler will rival the upcoming Scram 411 from the Chennai-based bikemaker. On the other hand, Yezdi Roadster appears to take on Meteor 350. This story focuses on how both these motorcycles stack up against each other, on paper of course.
      Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Vs Yezdi Roadster
      When it comes to design, both motorcycles feature a low-sling cruiser-like stance with a new-retro design theme. While Yezdi has stayed clear from terming it as a cruiser, Royal Enfield is happy to call Meteor one. That said, neither of the bikes can be called proper cruisers and more roadsters trying to be cruisers. Meteor gives a slightly more cruiser feel due to its wide and tall handlebar as opposed to the low-set handlebar in Roadster.
      That said, both motorcycles receive centre-set footpegs which give better ability to maneuver than a traditional cruiser and a comfortable riding posture. Both flaunt a neo-retro styling theme with common elements such as round headlamps, teardrop-shaped fuel tanks and circular turn tail lights, turn indicators and rearview mirrors. Roadster looks slightly bulkier than Meteor thanks to the broader fenders in the former.
      Royal Enfield Meteor 350 vs Yezdi Roadster
      Powertrain Specs
      Meteor is powered by a 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled SOHC motor whereas Roadster is propelled by a smaller 334cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC motor. Despite being at a disadvantage for a smaller cubic capacity, Roadster extracts more power and torque from its engine. While the engine in Meteor kicks out 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque, the one in Roadster pumps out 29.7 bhp and 29 Nm of torque.
      Dynamics
      As far as dynamics are concerned, both motorcycles are underpinned by a similar dual-cradle frame. Chassis on both bikes are suspended on telescopic forks upfront and twin shock absorbers at rear. In terms of braking, both motorcycles utilise disc brakes at both ends aided by a dual-channel ABS. While Yezdi offers a larger front disc of 320mm, Royal Enfield provides a larger rotor of 270mm at rear.
      Meteor offers a more accessible saddle of 765mm as compared to a 790mm seat height of Roadster. However, Roadster is slightly more nimble at 184kg in comparison to 191kg of Meteor which should translate to sharper handling. Meteor also features a larger 15-litre fuel tank as compared to a 12.5-litre tank in Roadster that should provide a longer range to Meteor.
      Royal Enfield Meteor 350 vs Yezdi Roadster
      Features and Price
      In terms of features, Roadster gets all-LED lighting in addition to a semi-digital instrument console. It, however, misses out on Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation which is offered as standard in Meteor. The latter also gets LED DRLs, an LED taillight and a USB charger.
      Coming to prices, both motorcycles are very closely priced to each other but Roadster offers a slightly lower starting price of Rs 1.98 lakh. On the other hand, prices for Meteor start at Rs 2.01 lakh (both prices ex-showroom). More

      Royal Enfield Himalayan Vs Yezdi Adventure – Specs, Price Comparison

      by

      Image – SKRYezdi Adventure matches spec to spec with its closest competitor Royal Enfield Himalayan
      Classic Legends recently revived the Yezdi brand by dropping three bombs- Scrambler, Roadster and Adventure. Out of these three, Adventure is garnering a lot of attention for the sheer fact it looks so similar to Royal Enfield Himalayan which also happens to be its nearest rival.
      Like Himalayan, Yezdi Adventure is also a purpose-built adventure bike and it shows in its design. Apart from their design, these two bikes are comparable to each other in a lot of ways. This article reflects how the new adventure bike from Classic Legends in the block stack up against an old seasoned rival, at least on paper.
      Royal Enfield Himalayan Vs Yezdi Adventure – Specs
      Starting with the powertrain, Himalayan obviously receives the larger 411cc SOHC engine which is surprisingly less powerful than the 334cc DOHC unit powering the Yezdi. While the former kicks out a peak power of 24 bhp, the latter pumps 30 bhp of maximum power. However, Himalayan does receive an advantage of slightly more torque which is achieved at a lower rpm than the Yezdi ADV.
      While Royal Enfield offers a 5-speed gearbox, Yezdi utilises a 6-speed unit on its adventure bike. This should help the latter cruise on triple-digit speeds for longer durations. That said, Himalayan has a much simpler setup with its air and oil cooler as opposed to a liquid cooler in Adventure.
      Royal Enfield Himalayan vs Yezdi Adventure
      Hardware Configuration
      When it comes to adventure motorcycling, dynamics of a bike is a very crucial aspect. While Himalayan is underpinned by a Half-duplex split cradle frame, Adventure is based on a dual cradle frame. Both frames are suspended on conventional telescopic forks up front and a mono-shock. Further, both suspension units on both motorcycles offer the exact same travel of 200mm and 180mm at front and rear respectively.
      Both bikes offer an identical ground clearance of 220mm, however, the saddle of Himalayan is more accessible at 800mm as compared to 815mm in Adventure. On the flip side, Yezdi is lighter at 188kg as opposed to 199kg of Himalayan. Both bikes ride on 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoked wheels shod with dual-purpose tubeless tyres. In the braking department, Adventure offers a slightly larger disc brake at front.
      Features on offer
      In terms of features, Yezdi Adventure is the clear winner with a longer list of gizmos. For starters, Yezdi receives a fully digital instrument console as compared to Himalayan’s semi-digital unit. Both bikes receive Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation, however, Yezdi gets three ABS modes (Road, Off-road, and Rain). Himalayan instead gets a switchable ABS. Yezdi also receives full-LED lighting which Himalayan misses out on.
      Royal Enfield Himalayan vs Yezdi Adventure
      Price Comparison
      Coming to prices, boh bikes are precariously closely priced, however, the Royal Enfield is slightly more expensive than its Yezdi counterpart. Prices for Himalayan start at 2.14 lakh whereas Adventure is available at a starting price of Rs 2.10 lakh (ex-showroom). On paper, Yezdi Adventure certainly offers more value for money in comparison to Royal Enfield Himalayan. More

      Upcoming Royal Enfield 650cc bikes
      To provide more options to enthusiasts in 650cc segment, Royal Enfield is working on at least two new 650cc bikes. One of this will be a cruiser, likely to be named as Super Meteor 650. Second model is a Classic-styled 650cc motorcycle, likely to be named as Shotgun 650. Both bikes will be using the same engine as that of Continental GT and Interceptor. Launch is expected later this year. More

      by

      Image – An ExplorerIt is likely that increase in input costs has prompted Royal Enfield to hike prices of its motorcycles
      In line with industry trends, Royal Enfield has increased prices of its motorcycles in the first month of the year. Global supply chain has been adversely impacted due to pandemic, resulting in shortage of several raw materials and components. Shift to stricter emission norms is also responsible for price hikes in automotive space.
      Royal Enfield Prices Jan 2022 – Classic 350, Meteor 350
      Royal Enfield’s top-selling bike Classic 350 has witnessed a price hike of up to Rs 3,332. Classic 350 starting price is now Rs 1,87,246 for Redditch variant.

In percentage terms, the price hike was in the range of 3.36% to 3.64%. Himalayan prices were increased by a flat rate of Rs 5k for all variants. Percentage increase was in the range of 2.34% to 2.43%.
      No updates
      No new changes have been introduced for any of these Royal Enfield bikes. New-gen Classic 350 was launched last year with several enhancements including a new chassis and new engine. It has resulted in significant improvements in terms of reduced vibrations and ride dynamics. The first Royal Enfield bike to benefit from these updates was Meteor 350 that was launched in November 2020.
      Both new-gen Classic 350 and Meteor 350 share the same 350cc engine. It generates max power of 20.2 bhp and peak torque of 27 Nm. It is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Next-gen versions of other Royal Enfield 350cc bikes will also be getting these updates.
      Himalayan is equipped with a 411cc motor that delivers 24.3 bhp and 32 Nm. Transmission is a 5-speed constant mesh unit. In future, Royal Enfield will be expanding Himalayan range to include multiple new products.
      One of these will be Himalayan 450, which will be positioned as a premium Adv bike. It will take on rivals such as KTM 390 Adventure and BMW G310GS. Himalayan 450 will be utilizing an entirely new platform. It is expected to deliver around 40 bhp of max power. More

      Royal Enfield Himalayan 450cc Launch Planned – KTM 390 Adv Rival

      by

      Image for reference. Credit – Bike Exif.A diversified portfolio with new products like Himalayan 450cc will help Royal Enfield to stay ahead in the game
      As part of its long-term strategy, Royal Enfield is working to launch an average of one new/updated product every quarter. One of these is Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, which is expected to be available for sale in first quarter of 2023. Although the basic silhouette looks familiar to Himalayan 411, Himalayan 450 utilizes an entirely new platform.
      Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 styling and features
      Codenamed K1, Himalayan 450 comes across as a premium Adv bike. It can emerge as a viable alternative to the likes of KTM 390 Adventure, BMW G310GS and other similar Adv bikes. The core Himalayan DNA is retained, as evident with features such as round headlamp and rear-view mirrors, raised front fender and matching frame construction.
      Use of spoke wheels, shod with knobby tubeless tyres is another feature that’s common to both bikes. Himalayan 450 is likely to use 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel, the same setup as that of current Himalayan.
      Just like Himalayan 411, users can expect relaxed riding ergonomics with Himalayan 450. It’s made possible with features such as centrally placed footpegs, thick saddle and pulled-back, wide handlebar. Upswept exhaust in metallic finish is another similar looking feature.
      Royal Enfield Himalayan 450cc Render
      In terms of things that give Himalayan 450 a unique identity, the bike gets a compact windscreen, trendier fuel tank design, and single-piece seat. It could be equipped with a new digital instrument console. The bike is likely to ditch much of the exoskeleton that can be seen with Himalayan 411. For users who may need it, the front and rear rack could be offered as an accessory.
      Royal Enfield Himalayan 450cc – engine and specs
      Powering Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 will be a liquid cooled, single cylinder motor that generates 40 bhp of max power. Just like other Adv bikes, Himalayan 450 will focus on delivering better performance in low and mid-range. As of now, torque for Himalayan 450 has not been revealed.
      Existing Himalayan is powered by a 411cc motor that churns out 24.3 bhp and 32 Nm. It is mated to a 5-speed, constant mesh gearbox. In comparison, KTM 390 Adv is powered by a 373cc motor that delivers 43 bhp and 37 Nm. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. BMW G310GS is powered by a 313cc motor that generates 34 bhp and 28 Nm. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
      Himalayan 450 will be utilizing a trellis frame and is likely to be lighter than Himalayan 411. It will have USD forks at front, as compared to conventional telescopic forks used with Himalayan 411. Front suspension travel and ground clearance could be on the higher side. Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is expected to be priced at around Rs 2.7 lakh (ex-sh). It will be cheaper than KTM 390 Adventure (~ Rs 3.28 lakh) and BMW G310GS (~ Rs 3 lakh).

      New Royal Enfield Himalayan Scram 411 Red Colour – Production Spec

      by

      Royal Enfield Himalayan Scram 411 – Production SpecRoyal Enfield Scram 411 is expected to be slightly affordable than the current Himalayan when launched
      Among the next big launches from Royal Enfield, Scram 411 holds huge significance. Essentially a road-biased version of the current Himalayan, Scram is expected to be slightly more modest in its approach as far as adventure touring is concerned.
      Test mules of the upcoming bike have been spotted testing on multiple occasions in recent times. The scrambler has been spotted yet again in a production avatar just ahead of its launch. Latest spy shots are credit to Dr Firoz Khan.
      Even though it will carry forward the same underpinnings from Himalayan, it will be more directed towards customers who wish to travel long distances on tarmac. The latest spy shots further highlight variations between Himalayan and Scram.
      Himalayan Scram 411 Red – Updated Styling
      While the current Himalayan offers a distinct presence on roads, the upcoming Scram 411 is rather subdued. Scram misses out on a few styling attributes which provide Himalayan the ADV appeal. For starters, Scram doesn’t feature a windscreen upfront and the signature exoskeleton which gives its ADV sibling an overall rugged appearance.
      Royal Enfield Himalayan Scram 411 – Production Spec
      Ergonomics of Scram also appear to be slightly different than that of Himalayan with a slightly repositioned handlebar. Similarly, the tail section also seems to be redesigned with respect to the positioning of the taillamp and rear turn indicators. Other styling highlights include revised front and rear mudguards, a side-on upswept exhaust canister, a single-piece seat, fork gaiters, single-piece grab rail and a round headlamp.
      The motorcycle rides on 19-inch wire-spoked wheels on both ends instead of a larger 21-inch front unit in Himalayan. We expect the wheels to be wrapped around by block pattern, dual-purpose tyres so that the bike is able to carry out some amount of soft roading. A rear luggage carrier will most likely be offered as an accessory to augment its touring capabilities.
      Powertrain, Hardware Specs
      Scram 411 will be powered by the same 411cc single-cylinder air-cooled SOHC engine that propels Himalayan. However, earlier reports have mentioned that this motor could be equipped with a liquid cooler in Scram 411. In its current air-cooled avatar, this engine makes 24.3 bhp at 6,500rpm and 32 Nm of peak torque at 4000-4500rpm. This motor will be mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
      [embedded content]
      Suspension setup of the motorcycle will comprise conventional telescopic forks upfront and a mono-shock at rear. However, the setup will be tweaked for slightly more road-friendly mannerisms. Braking will be carried out by disc brakes at both ends which would probably be aided by dual-channel ABS. Another feature expected to be on offer is the Tripper Navigation pod on the instrument console.

      Royal Enfield Sales, Exports Breakup Nov 2021 – Classic, 650 Twins, Bullet, Meteor

      by

      Image – DCD CarsRoyal Enfield sales dipped 2.12 percent in domestic markets while exports surged 48.09 percent on a YoY basis
      The ongoing global semi-conductor shortage has taken its toll across every two and four wheeler maker in India. Production schedules are in turmoil and deliveries are being deferred to contend with this shortage. New launches are also being put on hold as a result of these supply issues.
      Royal Enfield was also affected by production constraints right from 2020 itself. It was one of the reasons why launch of Meteor 350 and new gen Classic 350 had to be delayed. However, despite delay, both motorcycles have found favour among buyers in India with waiting period stretching to as long as 2 months.
      Royal Enfield Sales Breakup Nov 2021
      Even as domestic sales dipped on a YoY basis, the company range saw increased demand in global markets. On a YoY basis, Royal Enfield sales dipped 24.12 percent to 44,830 units in Nov 2021 as against 59,084 units sold in Nov 2020. In terms of MoM sales, Royal Enfield sold 40,611 units in October 2021, relating to growth of 10.39 percent.
      It was the company’s Classic 350cc that was most in demand in the past month despite a 50.24 percent de-growth. Sales stood at 19,601 units, down from 39,391 units sold in November 2020. MoM sales dipped only marginally by 0.64 percent over 19,728 units sold in October 2021.
      Royal Enfield Sales Breakup Nov 2021

      Also on sales charts in the 350cc segment, at No. 4 was  RE Electra 350 with a 21.98 percent YoY growth in sales. Sales which had stood at 3,490 units in November 2020, increased to 4,257 units in the past month. It was also a massive 89.54 percent MoM growth from 2,246 units sold in October 2021. Increased demand was also seen in the case of the RE Himalayan. Sales surged 113.55 percent YoY to 3,310 units, up from 1,550 units sold in November 2020. MoM sales however dipped 11.21 percent from 3,728 units sold in October 2021.
      Trailing sales list was RE 650 Twins, which though much in demand in global markets, has failed to garner as much sales from buyers in India as compared to the other bikes in the company’s product range. Sales in the past month stood at 2,154 units, up 94.23 percent over 1,109 units sold in November 2020. MoM sales also increased 74.27 percent from 1,236 units sold in October 2021.
      Royal Enfield Exports Breakup Nov 2021
